Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. An electronic device comprising: a touch screen display; an input/output interface connected to an external device; a memory; and at least one processor electrically connected to the touch screen display, the input/output interface, and the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: based on the electronic device being connected through the input/output interface to the external device using an operating system different from an operating system of the electronic device, output a screen associated with the electronic device within a window displayed in a first region of a display of the external device; output a sub-window corresponding to at least one application stored in the electronic device within the window; based on an input to the sub-window being applied from the external device, determine a target application based on the input; set data reception path information based on a feature of the target application to transmit the set data reception path information to the external device; and receive data corresponding to the input from the external device based on the data reception path information.

2

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at east one processor is further configured to: display a screen associated with the external device in second region other than the first region in the display of the external device.

3

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the input to the sub-window includes a drag input from the second region to one point within the sub-window.

4

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at east one processor is further configured to: based on an input to the window being applied from the external device, receive path information about clip data copied in the external device.

5

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the input to the window includes an input for selecting or focusing the window.

6

6. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to: provide information associated with the copied clip data to a clipboard of the electronic device based on the path information about the copied clip data.

7

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to: based on the electronic device being connected to the external device, change screen configuration information associated with at least part of a resolution, density, or orientation of a screen output by the electronic device; organize the sub-window corresponding to the at least one application based on the changed screen configuration information; and cause the external device to display the sub-window in the first region.

8

8. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to: based on an input to the second region being applied from the external device, transmit at least part of data copied in a clipboard of the electronic device, to the external device; and set the at least part of the copied data as clip data of the external device.

9

9. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to: based on a drag input from the first region to the second region being applied from the external device, transmit path information of data corresponding to the drag input, to the external device.

10

10. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to: based on the input to the sub-window being applied from the external device, receive path information of data corresponding to the input from the external device; and determine whether data corresponding to the input is applicable to the target application, based on the path information of the data.

11

11. A method of data sharing of an electronic device, the method comprising: based on the electronic device being connected through an input/output interface to an external device using an operating system different from an operating system of the electronic device, outputting a screen associated with the electronic device in a window displayed in a first region of a display of the external device; outputting a sub-window corresponding to at least one application stored in the electronic device within the window; based on an input to the sub-window being applied from the external device, determining a target application based on the input; setting data reception path information based on a feature of the target application to transmit the set data reception path information to the external device; and receiving data corresponding to the input from the external device based on the data reception path information.

12

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein a screen associated with the external device is displayed in a second region other than the first region in the display of the external device.

13

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the input to the sub-window includes a drag input from the second region to one point within the sub-window.

14

14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising: based on an input to the window being applied from the external device, receiving path information about clip data copied in the external device.

15

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the input to the window includes an input for selecting or focusing the window.

16

16. The method of claim 14 , further comprising: providing information associated with the copied clip data to a clipboard of the electronic device based on the path information about the copied clip data.

17

17. The method of claim 11 , further comprising: based on the electronic device being connected to the external device, changing screen configuration information associated with at least part of a resolution, density, or orientation of a screen output by the electronic device; organizing the sub-window corresponding to the at east one application based on the changed screen configuration information; and causing the external device to display the sub-window in the first region.

18

18. The method of claim 12 , further comprising: based on an input to the second region being applied from the external device, transmitting at least part of data copied in a clipboard of the electronic device, to the external device; and setting the at least part of the copied data as clip data of the external device.

19

19. The method of claim 12 , further comprising: based on a drag input from the first region to the second region being applied from the external device, transmitting path information of data corresponding to the drag input, to the external device.

20

20. The method of claim 11 , further comprising: based on the input to the sub-window being applied from the external device, receiving path information of data corresponding to the input from the external device; and determining whether data corresponding to the input is applicable to the target application, based on the path information of the data.
